Cook's tip

Stick to the sugar amount; too much bubbles over and burns. Chopped pistachios or walnuts are lovely mixed into the cinnamon sugar. They are crispest on the day; reheat leftovers in the oven for 3 minutes.

Cooking it at camp

Bake them at home and pack in an airtight box for a campsite breakfast treat. To make them on site, line a lidded cast-iron pan with baking paper, set the swirls close together and cook on low for 15 minutes, then flip for 5.
